Greetings!
A couple of CVS related queries, if I could impose upon you all...
I'm trying to hack together a kludgey tree of past FreeBSD
releases. Presumably, I can just grab the sources for each release
and piece it together from them? If so, I presume I would
*import* each release using a tag similar to X.X-RELEASE? Then,
to *extract* the sources pertinent to a particular release, I
would select only those files associated with that tag? If,
however, I merely did a "checkout", I would end up with the most
recent versions of *all* files, correct? Even those no longer
present in "the most recent" X.X-RELEASE??
Also, is is possible to glue CVS around an existing RCS
tree? I imagine I would NOT be able to reconstruct the "log"
for that tree, though??
Again, sorry for the "bother" but every time I think I
understand CVS, it finds some new way of confusing me (I
suspect CONCURRENT is *not* what the "C" stands for... :-(
Thanks!
